Bush’s Farewell Speech

[Ynet News]
Nahum Barnea -

Five years ago Bush delivered his first two-state speech. He spoke of a final-status agreement within three years. On Monday, he reiterated the key points of that address with one difference: that instance he was careful not to specify a timeline. The two men currently heading the PA, Mahmoud Abbas and Salim Fayyad, oppose terror and are refraining from incitement, giving Bush a Palestinian leadership he can support. In his address Monday, Bush promised to pad PA leaders with cash. But the authority does not lack funds at present. Its lacks a public basis. All Bush is promising to do is to convene a regional conference in the fall headed by Condoleezza Rice. These meetings are nothing more than castles in the air.
